The Moon, the Stars and the Distant Drum.

Isn't it great when everything is in accordance. When the Sun and the stars line up just right?
Last night was one of those nights when it all fell in place.
The Carpenter Ants did our annual show in Charleston, Live at the Levee. It's a series that the city has to showcase some of Charleston's top bands.
But this night was just a bit different. It seemed, to me at least. that everyone in the crowd was really into us and they were unusually responsive to all that we threw at them.
I saw alot of our old friends in attendance, and it was like homecoming and the Senior prom all rolled up in one.
Normally, the Ants will have fun no matter what, but sometime when we think the audience isn't with us it makes it a little harder to do what we do. My job as frontman of the band is to try to tie the audience to the music, and I do so by a little combination of being in the audinece and working them from the inside. It makes me and them feel really good because we're listening to the music together, only it's me singing to them...you get the picture?
My bandmates always do me proud, they'll work the audience with me, and it becomes one big show that is truly interactive.
Anyway, as I said, everything was lined up just right; as the Sun was setting we hit the folks with some Gospel, teased the ladies with some of our Ditties, rocked the joint with some hard driving grooves, and wowed everyone with some Soul ballads. It all made for a perfect evening of fun, love, and watching Allah (God) create nighttime.
Yeah, I love it when a plan comes together, I love it when this band is together, for me it just makes me feel good to be alive.
I hope wherever you are this Summer you'll make time to catch some live music. Sit back and enjoy the Moon the stars and the distant drum.

A big shout out to the the City of Charleston, thanks for a wonderful evening.

Support Live music today tomorrow and always.
